TOY.

Application filed March 22, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 3:, CHARLES FAeo, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at \Vinthrop Harbor, in the county of Lake and State of lllinois, have invented new and use iul Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to toys and has for an object the provision of a toy ot' the whirling type being capable of rotation in opposite directions by the action of a cord, the momentum provided acting to rewind the cord so that the operation of the toy may be indefinitely continued.

Another object is the provision of a toy of this character which includes a rotatable shaft and is provided with a novel form of bearing in which the shaft may rotate, the construction being such as to form from a single piece oi wire, a handle engaging arm, spaced bearing loops and a cord receiving or guiding loop.

With the above and other OlJJGCtS in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of a toy constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 52 is a view at right angles to l igure 1.

Figure 8 is a section onv the line 33 of Figure 1.

Referring in detail to the drawings, wherein like characters of reference denote corr pending parts, the reference character 10 indicates shaft, which has mounted on each end balance elements 11 and 12, the former being shown as smaller than the latter. These balance elements may be of any desired shape or configuration, the purpose being to provide means whereby the shaft may be rotated and the balance elements act to provide increased momentum.

The shaft 10 is mounted for rotation in a hearing which is formed of a single piece of wire. This wire is arranged to provide a handle engaging arm 13, upon which is Serial No. 454,391.

mounted a suitable handle 14. Extend tltllili ing in opposite directions from the handle engag- 111g arm 13 are divergent arms 15, which are bent at right angles and coiled aligned bearing shaft 10 is mounted.

to provide loops 16 within which the Extending from the bearing loops 16 is an eye 17 which provides a guide for a cord, the said eye being formed by coiling the wire centrally and forming spacing arms 18 which connect the eye 17 with the bearing loops 16. In forming the structure just described, the eye 17 may first be formed and the bearing loops 16 provided, whereupon the divergent arms 15 may be bent inward and have the extre thereof arranged in parallel mities contacting relation to form the handle engaging arm 13.

A pin 19 extends upon one side of the bearing membe cooperates with the balance elements prevent longitudinal movement of the ing member upon the shaft.

In the operation of end secured to the then be revolved to shaft, whereupon a through the shaft 10 r and 11 to bearthe toy, a cord is threaded through the eye 17 and has one shaft 10, the latter may wind the cord upon the pull on the outer end of the cord will cause the shaft to rotate rapid- After the cord has been entirel y unwound from the shaft 10, tension upon said cord is released and the accelerated in tum imparted to the shaft 10 by unwinding the cord, will cause the wound upon the shaft in said cord to an opposite omenbe redlrection, the cord may be given a pull to unwind and permitted to rewind scribed, this operation being repeated sired, as will be readily understood.

changes in its form, proportions and as previously deas dee invention is susceptible of various minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to make 1y fall within the scope of the app claims.

such changes as properended Having described the invention What is claimed is member extending from said handle bearing member being termed from a said single strand of Wire bent centrally to provide a cord guide located intermediate the shaft record receiving eye, spaced bearing loops and ceiving eyes and an arm extending radially a handle engaging limb. from the shaft receiving eyes opposite the 10 2. A toy comprising a shaft, abalance elecord guide and a handle secured upon the 5 inent secured to each end thereof, a bearing arm.

member mounted upon the shaft, said mem- In testimony whereof I affix my si nature. loer including spaced shaft receiving eyes, a CHARLES FAG6, JR.
